The P-75 has me looking up German WWII bombers. It was a fun Rabbit hole to go down.

The second one with the skids makes me think of this one:

That's another one of the vertical take-off oddities. The one above, at the USAF museum, is the Ryan XV-13.

Any guesses on the one above it? Relatively famous prototype/research plane.

XF-84 Thunderscreech

Nope, although I probably have a pic of its gear here somewhere. It's a P-59. And I believe the X-1B in the background.

Seems like a fun concept, shame it fell silent

Such small wheels, completely upright design. Can't go very fast. Either for a helicopter, or, my guess is for the Lunar Landing Research Vehicle.

I'm guessing this is a prop driven VIP or utility plane from the 60s. I'm having difficulties placing it though. It reminds me in a way of the Lockheed P-80 and Bell P-59, so maybe a very early generation jet may fit too. Nothing I've looked at matches, though, so... no guesses here.

Top pic is the XV-6 Kestrel, baby Harrier.

Bottom one, you're on the right track. Rockwell Aero Commander, forget the AF designation right now, used as a VIP/presidential transport.

Nice finds, though more exotic than my knowledge or intuition would allow to pinpoint

Did look up some Beech VIP planes, didn't fit, and stopped there. Also considered the U-2 and the Harrier for the side-wheels, but didn't consider the Harrier test bed
